0

Venture capital firm Khosla Ventures is raising $1 billion for its new fund, Khosla Ventures IV, an SEC filing reveals. From the looks of it, the new fund will be roughly the same size as the previous one (raised in September 2009).

The Menlo Park, California-based investment firm was founded in 2004 by Vinod Khosla, the iconic co-founder of Sun Microsystems and former general partner of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and focuses on investments in early stage companies in the Internet, computing, mobile, silicon technology and cleantech industries.

Thrive on technological risk. Ignore the nonsense of conventional wisdom. People matter. Care about genuine issues: a healthy environment. Sustainable power. Free information. Go for GREAT, not just good. Be willing to fail but aim for revolutionary success.
